Playlist for “What’s Next For Corals?” Plenary at AGU24
Here are my compositions featured in the “What’s Next For Corals?” Art and Science Plenary at the American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting.
Fantasmas del Arrecife / Ghosts of the Reef – October 2023. Every sound sample in the piece was recorded underwater in the MesoAmerican Reef by me and the Ocean World of Sound team, and includes shrimp, fish, and boat motors. Through a variety of pitch and time filters, I evoke space and eeriness, remembering the sounds of this reef before the current major bleaching event, and raising questions about the future. Ghosts of the Reef explores themes of lost soundscapes and ocean memory. The piece is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jaime Gonzalez Cano, champion of MesoAmerican Reef research and conservation.
